Imagika is an Illusion/Force Fields Controller on the Virtue server in the City of Heroes MMO. She was created as a combination of ideas from the movie Drop Dead Fred and several of Terry Pratchett's 'Discworld' books - most notably Hogfather and the characters of Agnes Nitt and Perdita from the Lancre Witches books.

Personality
Imagika is almost preternaturally cheerful nearly all the time. She has the mind of a child and acts very much like one most of the time, but she also has a strong sense of right and wrong, which colours a lot of her actions and interactions with others. She likes to play (mostly) harmless practical jokes on others, usually relating to her ability to become invisible. She does suffer from a rather short attention span on occasion (usually when something she doesn't understand is going on) and finds it difficult to keep still for more than a few minutes at a time.
Powers
Imagika's powers are comprised of the generation of illusions and force fields of various types.
Primary Set
Imagika's primary abilities are based around her ability to 'imagine' her opponents taking damage. Researchers at MAGI have likened it to playing a game of 'Cops and Robbers' with her - only she's making up the rules as she goes along. She can make people see what she wants them to see, causing them to attack one another or not see her at all, and can even create what she calls 'imaginary friends' of her own to fight alongside her, although she cannot maintain them for very long.
Secondary Set
Imagika also has the ability to create force fields - or, as she calls them, "Super-Duper Magic Bubbles". She can surround herself or others in these bubbles, which are surprisingly durable and can protect from many forms of damage.
Additional Powers
Travel
Imagika can jump great heights and distances. She claims that this is due to jumping while in one of her bubbles, but she has been seen to do so while not in a bubble.

Character History
Imagika's origins are not clearly known. She first appeared in Paragon City two years ago, wanting to register as a hero. When questioned as to her past and abilities, all she would say at first was that she "didn't want to fade away".
Further questioning and investigation revealed that Imagika was, technically, not real. She was in fact an imaginary construct that had somehow achieved sentience and independence from her creator. Imagika confirmed this, revealing that she had been an imaginary friend to a young girl once, but as the young girl grew up and forgot about her 'friend', Imagika did not cease to exist as most imaginary creations would do. Not wanting to stop existing, and remember the games she used to play with her creator where they would pretend to be superheroes, Imagika travelled to Paragon City, hoping that if others knew of her existance, she would continue existing.
